Book 1: Reading is not a Confucian sour Chapter 26 Not with the world
The days in the academy are far more fulfilling and comfortable than Ying Tianchang thought, of course, this comfort does not include the time when he is taught a lesson by the Moshu Pavilion or Huangxing Village from dusk to midnight every day. During the day, the old bookworm asked Ying Tianchang to take not many courses, there were about two or four courses a day, but Ying Tianchang was not the kind of obedient person after all, if Chen Lin'an opened his mouth, it might be useful, but the old bookworm really had no prestige in front of Ying Tianchang.
Today, Ying Tianchang skipped class again, and he lay on the grass not far from his hut. He held a slightly yellowish blade of grass in his mouth and looked at the white clouds in the sky.
In fact, the life of the college was still very different from what he had thought before. Originally, Ying Tianchang still wanted to spend more time with the old bookworm, but he continued to nag some sage words in his ear, or it was the bullshit truth he had figured out by himself, otherwise it would be good to watch him blow his beard and stare at him helplessly. But Ying Tianchang thought that these were just fantasies in his head after all. Except for the hurried sight when he first arrived at the academy, Ying Tianchang never saw the old bookworm again.
Ying Tianchang didn't want to go over to find an old bookworm, but as soon as he came to his temperament, he felt that he had admitted defeat in the past. Although I understand the reason why the old bookworm left back then, the boy still hasn't really let go of the matter. Second, since the old bookworm didn't come, it means that he may have other things, and Ying Tianchang doesn't want to bother him.
After all, the current old bookworm is still the master of this heart, the Confucian sage, Zhang Yuanchun. This is not comparable to the bad old man who scolded the streets.
Ying Tianchang closed his eyes lazily, as if he also had a senior brother Xu Lu. But compared with Chen Lin'an's care along the way and Chang'an Li Qinglian's amazement, Ying Tianchang really didn't feel much about Xu Lu, who had been tepid.
I heard that he was the kind of person who had been hiding in his own courtyard and not going out, thinking about the laziness on Xu Lu's face that had never subsided, Ying Tianchang also felt that it was something Xu Lu could do.
As for going to Xu Lu's small courtyard to hang out, Ying Tianchang showed a smile on his mouth, don't think about it.
Buns came running from the other side of the house, screaming as they ran.
Ying Tianchang understood that Qinghuang was here.
What made Ying Tianchang feel comfortable was this bull demon Qinghuang. Since that day, Qinghuang will come to Ying Tianchang every day, if there is anything, either they are in a daze together, or Ying Tianchang is in a daze, Qinghuang chatters in his ear non-stop, as if this is the most important thing for him every day, rain or shine.
Ying Tianchang is not a person who likes to talk, and he even feels that he should be regarded as a person who adapts to loneliness and loneliness. So even if he was alone in every moment and every second of every day, he would not feel anything wrong, and even in those long and empty hours, he could get unknown satisfaction and peaceful happiness from the silence of himself. He doesn't need someone else to comfort his heart.
What's more, there are buns in the sky.
However, even if you are no longer afraid of loneliness, it is always comfortable to have someone to accompany you.
A few days ago, Qinghuang brought his younger brother over, it was the bull demon Qingshan who had seventeen seats in the martial arts academy in Gu Qingrang's mouth.
The green mountain has completely transformed into a human form, and compared to the green and yellow that cannot be completely transformed, the appearance of the green mountain is much thicker, and it looks like a large tree that can move from a distance.
Qingshan is not as stupid as Qinghuang, but from the conversation with him, Ying Tianchang felt that Qingshan should be a tendon temper.
At the same time, he is still a martial arts idiot.
After thanking Ying Tianchang for helping Qinghuang, Qingshan asked to compete with Ying Tianchang, who had drawn with Gu Qingrang.
As a result, he was beaten by Qinghuang's ass.
was punched and kicked mercilessly by such an incompetent big brother, Qingshan was not angry at all, but had some minor grievances.
Seeing this, Ying Tianchang was in a good mood.
Aoyama's request was lost in the frolic.
In fact, Gu Qingrang and Huang Yao also came to find Ying Tianchang, but compared to the bull demon Qinghuang, the number of times is not much, but two or three times, compared to Qinghuang and Qingshan, Gu Qingrang said that it was more appropriate for the two to come to visit, the etiquette rules are not less, and the conversation and laughter are also quite elegant.
Ying Tianchang also understands, after all, Gu Qingrang and Huang Yao are both from big families, which is their habit of getting along since childhood.
The chat between Ying Tianchang and Gu Qingrang Huang Yao was mostly about legends of the mountains and rivers and interesting stories about the rivers and lakes.
Ying Tianchang felt that he had a friend like Qinghuang Qingshan, which was very good, and it was also good that he had a friend like Gu Qing and Huang Yao.
There is really no difference between the two.
"Have you heard, the academy is going to send people to the northwest these days. Qinghuang came to Ying Tianchang's side and sat down, saying.
Ying Tianchang didn't open his eyes and nodded slightly.
"The Northwest is my hometown. Qinghuang said.
Ying Tianchang had heard Qinghuang say a lot about his hometown, such as what yellow sand can be dyed red by the sunset, what desert smoke and long river sunset, what strong wind swept white grass, Ying Tianchang actually wanted to see it with his own eyes.
"Homesick?" asked Ying Tianchang.
He opened his eyes, and he had never thought he could ask such a question.
Qinghuang grinned and said, "Where did we come from?" β
Ying Tianchang thought that Qinghuang would say something more, just like he used to, talk endlessly, maybe say some monsters' sufferings, or maybe say something about his hometown or something, but this is all what Ying Tianchang wants to see. Qinghuang didn't speak, a rare silence for him.
It was only at this time that Ying Tianchang felt that among the two brothers of the bull demon, Qinghuang was a well-deserved brother.
"If you want to go to the northwest, go there. Ying Tianchang said, "Although you say that you don't have a home, you always say that the northwest is your hometown, and no one can stop you from doing what you want." β
"But ......" Qinghuang hesitated.
Ying Tianchang sat up and said, "Besides, isn't the academy going to send a protΓ©gΓ© to the northwest, with the seventeenth seat of the Qingshan Martial Academy, it shouldn't be a problem to recommend yourself to the masters and gentlemen, wouldn't it be good for you to follow him and go back and have a look with the two brothers?"
But Qinghuang's face did not improve.
Ying Tianchang realized that things might not be as simple as Qinghuang said, but the young man didn't ask.
After a while, it wasn't until a resolute look appeared in Qinghuang's eyes that he said, "The reason why the academy wants to send people to the northwest is because of the troubled times of monsters. β
Ying Tianchang looked at the green and yellow horns, waiting for the next sentence.
But before Qinghuang could speak again, someone said, "Hmm." β
Qinghuang looked at the person who suddenly appeared next to Ying Tianchang, and was so frightened that he got up directly.
Ying Tianchang turned his head and said, "Senior Brother Xu." β
Xu Lu was lying on the grass, still only saying the word "um".
Qinghuang hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Mr. Xu." β
Xu Lu raised his hand and waved, he knew it. Instead of lowering his hand, he continued to point to the sky, where there was a white cloud, like a dog.
"Northwest, are you going?" Xu Lu said, "You can take those two little cow demons, with me covering, don't worry, don't avoid suspicion." β
Xu Lu said what Qinghuang was most worried about. Xu Lu didn't wait for Ying Tianchang to speak, and continued: "But let me remind you first, the situation in the northwest is a bit chaotic. β
"It's not just a few monsters swaggering through the market, but ......" Xu Lu came up with a suitable word, "rebellion." β
"Well, I can't tell you what happened, but you'll know when you go. Xu Lu said.
"Are you sure I'm going?" asked Ying Tianchang.
"Won't you go?" Xu Lu asked rhetorically, he pillowed his other hand, a little comfortable and leisurely.
Ying Tianchang thought of Qinghuang's hard horns, and the black sheath long sword called "Peach Blossom" hanging at the head of his bed, and finally the perseverance that flashed in Qinghuang's eyes just now.
Ying Tianchang smiled, and Xu Lu also smiled.
"This little calf demon is from the northwest, and he knows something about it, so you can ask him. Xu Lu said, "Tomorrow, no problem, right?"
Ying Tianchang nodded. Qinghuang still didn't dare to speak, it seemed that only when Xu Lu and the others appeared, Qinghuang remembered that Ying Tianchang was actually Zhang Yuanchun's fourth disciple and Xu Lu's fourth junior brother.
"Don't blame the old man, he's also annoying during this time. β
Xu Lu left such a sentence before disappearing, which made Ying Tianchang's heart feel a little warm. Some complaints can always dissipate inadvertently.
Ying Tianchang thought, it is estimated that during the time Xu Lu said, even he himself was very busy.
After Xu Lu left, Qinghuang came back to his senses and looked at Ying Tianchang with gratitude on his face.
Ying Tianchang let out a breath and said, "You go back and tell Qingshan, as for the situation in the northwest, let's talk about it on the road." β
Anyway, it's a long way to the northwest, and there is time.
Qinghuang nodded, running fast.
Ying Tianchang looked back at the white jade that Xu Lu pointed at in the sky, and felt that it really looked like a dog.
Baozi ran over, Ying Tianchang picked it up, and said, "Actually, I'm also a dog who is led by the nose." β
"Correct. β
Xu Lu's voice suddenly appeared in his ears.
Ying Tianchang suddenly looked around, but there was no trace.
In the evening, Ying Tianchang walked up to Sanssouci Cliff as promised. There, what was waiting for him was not Moshuting or Huangxing Village, but Xu Lu.
"The third child went north, and the boss was left in Jinghu by Old Man Wei's important business, do you think it's really such a coincidence?" This was the first sentence Xu Lu spoke.
Ying Tianchang said tentatively: "Is it Chang'an's business?"
Xu Lu nodded, didn't say much, and continued: "I probably know your tricks, the Buddhism of the White Horse Temple, the immortal Taoism of Longhu Mountain, and the things that the old man taught you. And you can be regarded as the bottom of the pressure box, gluttony, from the Kongyi monk's three-style boxing moves, you can barely control the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Secret Thunder Method now. In terms of foreign objects, the paper cutter that the old man gave you, the purple gold talisman of Longhu Mountain, and a Buddha relic of White Horse Temple. β
Xu Lu walked up to Ying Tianchang and raised his hand on Ying Tianchang's shoulder: "There are also things you don't know, such as this Confucian robe given to you by the boss, and the three wisps of sword qi contained in the peach blossom sword given to you by the third child." β
"Your belongings are really eye-catching. β
There was still only a feeling of laziness in his voice, as light as the night breeze blowing across Ying Tianchang's cheeks.
"I'm here tonight, in addition to making up for the senior brother gift I didn't give you, and I also want to teach you how to use those treasures that are too good to be good. Xu Lu patted his head and said, "By the way, there is one more thing, our Confucian things, especially the things taught to you by the bad old man, must be mastered by you tonight." β
Ying Tianchang listened carefully, and only then did he ask, "Is there enough time?"
Ying Tianchang was worried that he didn't have the ability to do what Xu Lu said.
"Don't forget who is standing in front of you. Xu Lu stretched, "Your second senior brother, Xu Lu." β
"I'm only afraid that the rotten Ke people will come, and I am afraid of time and not being with the world. Xu Lu asked, "Have you heard of it?"
Ying Tianchang felt that the surroundings seemed to have become different, but there was no difference.
